Losing a parent is never easy, but when a family member’s actions leave you questioning their intentions, things can get complicated. After losing both their moms to cancer, one person finds themselves in a difficult situation when their sister, who has become increasingly evangelical, demands one of the few sentimental items left from their late mothers – a hand-sewn pride flag. ️
